Watch: Arsenal crumble 3-0 to Crystal Palace as their top 4 hopes take another hit

11 Apr 2017

Arsenal were left ruing missed opportunities once again as the Gunners lost 3-0 to a Crystal Palace side fighting to avoid relegation, at Selhurst Park. Andros Townsend scored for Palace in the first half, while Yohan Cabaye and Luka Milivojevic added goals in the second half to decide the result.

Crystal Palace’s victory has left a huge dent on Arsenal’s ambitions of finishing in the top 4 this season and qualifying for the Champions League, as the loss would leave them three points adrift of fourth place, even if they were to win both their remaining games in hand. They will now have to rely on Liverpool and Manchester United dropping points.

The loss also puts further pressure on Arsene Wenger, who remains undecided on his future beyond the end of this season amid large sections of the Arsenal fan-base wanting him to step down.
